Magnesium Hydroxide Precipitation

MgCl2 + 2NaOH → Mg(OH)2↓ + 2NaCl

概要

Magnesium chloride reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a white precipitate of magnesium hydroxide (Ksp = 5.6 × 10⁻¹²). The milky white suspension is commonly known as milk of magnesia. Mg(OH)₂ is a weak base that slowly neutralizes acid.
